Primary 5-7 enjoyed a visit from local author Lindsay Littleston to help celebrate World Book Week. We heard extracts from her books, she told us about where she gets her inspiration and answered lots of questions from our own budding authors!
We appreciate her giving her time to come and share her experiences and wish her continued success!
Just a reminder that to help us celebrate World Book Day, local author Lindsay Littleston will be visiting the school on Tuesday 3rd March. She will be presenting to the children in P5-7 about her career as an author so far. She will have copies of her books available to buy for £6 each (absolutely no obligation).
World Book Day is on Thursday 5th March and is a non-uniform day for children for a suggested donation of £1 which can be brought to school and DOES NOT have to go through ParentPay.

We have spent this week celebrating Safer Internet Day throughout the school. Each class participated in an activity exploring “online identity” and shared their online experiences and interests. Our digital leaders led assemblies related to this theme and did a fantastic job teaching each year group about what is safe to share online. Here are some photos of what we have been up to.
Our Digital Leaders led the school assemblies this week.
P2 spent time showing what apps they go on when using the internet.
P3 drew logos and emojis to represent their online identity and we guessed who created the profile.
P7 looked closer at what type of information is used to create an online profile.
Congratulations to our Stars of the Week!

We are delighted to be supporting World Book Day again this year on Thursday March 5th. This will be a day full of exciting literacy activities. Children are invited to bring their favourite book to school to share with a child in another class. It will be a non-uniform day for a suggested donation of £1. Money raised will be used to supplement our non-fiction texts for our class libraries. Non-uniform can include onesies and pyjamas.
The increase in reading engagement in our school continues to grow and we appreciate your continued support in this. Please encourage your child to fill in their First Minister’s Reading Challenge Passport with any books/magazines they have read. One of our pupils won the prize last year for the child reading the most books in Scotland!
Finally, we are delighted to welcome Lindsay Littleson to school on March 3rd for pupils in P4-7. She will be telling the children about her journey to becoming an award winning children’s author and reading from one of her novels. She will have a selection of her books with her for children to buy, priced £6 each. There is absolutely no obligation to purchase.
Best wishes
Mrs Campbell

Just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday 7th and Wednesday 12th February are Inservice days. Therefore, the pupils will have a holiday from Friday 7th to Wednesday 12th and return to school on Thursday 13th February.
The calendar on our School Blog Home Page page shows the upcoming holidays and events.
Dear Parent/carer,
As you know, we changed our spelling programme at the start of the session and are now well underway with positive results. We would like to invite you to an information evening to further share how the programme works and what the children are experiencing in class. This will be a good opportunity for you to find out how to reinforce the strategies used in school at home.
If you are able to make the information evening, please complete the slip in your child’s bag (oldest child only).
Kind regards,
Karen McDowall, Principal Teacher
The football team were in great form against our friends at St Anne’s. The team played some wonderful attacking football and were clinical in front of goal against a team who we always have competitive games against. We look forward to our final two games in the upcoming months when hopefully the weather will be a little better! Thank you to all of our supporters who braved the elements to cheer us on.
As you know we have been working very hard on our Scots and Burns poems. Once again our arrangements will be Assembly for P1-3 in the lunch hall and P4-7 in the gym hall on Thursday 6 February. Our class winners will recite their poems and a panel of judges from the Parent Council for the infants, and from the Burns Federation for the upper school, will choose overall winners. The lucky winner from P1- 3, P4&5 and P6&7 will be awarded a trophy to hold for a year and the class winners a certificate. The infant winners will recite their winning poem at a later date to the upper school assembly and vice versa.
We would invite the children to wear something tartan on Thursday 6 February, if they have it, to help us celebrate Burns Day.
We are all looking forward to the performances and pictures will be posted on the school blog after the assembly.
Thank you once again for your support.
Thank you for your patience whilst work has been ongoing to clear a blockage in our drainage system.
The drains are now clear and the playground and all entrances will be open as normal tomorrow morning (31/01/2020).
Well done ✔🌟💫
Thank you to everyone who has already completed the online or paper form to volunteer for our World of Work week in March. I have received many replies and I will contact you in the next week or two, so apologies for not getting back to you yet.
If you would still like to volunteer to come in to our classes and talk about your job and skills, please complete the form given out last week or the form below. Thank you in advance.
